Going by the description there, it says something about "no
filler" - could this be the armour that's missing ?

That looks like just the cover. Becky's stab vest came with a
spare cover in case ooh nasty stuff gets splattered on it.



It's a sad state of affairs when members of the fire brigade and
ambulance services need to worry about people trying to main them


Indeed. They can wear the vest whenever they want to, but some
calls are flagged 'vest mandatory' and some are flagged 'do not
leave ambulance unless police are on scene'. Vest is mandatory in
certain post code areas.


SW1?


More like SE1



Conflict management and Aikido are part of the basic training. They
have radio code words to secretly convey that they are in a possibly
dangerous situation.

All for a basic salary of £14K.


.... and all up?


With all the shift work & unsocial hours pay & overtime she about doubles
that.
